Time for a new Auralquiz release. Despite being the very official “1.0.0”, it’s a minor update to the previous version, mostly updating some translations and some documentation. This version still supports both Qt 4.8 and Qt 5.x. Next release will not support Qt 4.

Changelog

Getting it

Auralquiz is available in the repositories of several GNU/linux distributions. At the time of this post, at least Debian 7 (Wheezy) and newer, Mageia 2 and later, Ubuntu 13.10 and newer, and ALT Linux. Hopefully they’ll have this release packaged soon, either in regular updates or in backports repositories. Thanks to all the great packagers who make this possible! 😉

Changelog

Support for building with Qt 5, which is now the recommended version, since Qt 4 is no longer maintained.

Many Phonon fixes, which should avoid sound problems.

Added Galician translation, thanks to Miguel Anxo Bouzada.

Answering with the keyboard now can be done using the following keys: 1/2/3/4, Z/X/C/V, 7/8/9/0 and U/I/O/P.

I haven’t done much coding lately, so not much to blog about. The development versions of some of my programs have had some minor updates, but not enough for a release. I’ve also adapted some of them to be Qt5-compatible.

On a side note, sometimes I get visits from people looking for information on why Auralquiz doesn’t work for them. Well, all I can say for now is: use the Phonon-VLC backend. Phonon-Xine worked great with it, but was (and for the moment, still is) deprecated, and Phonon-Gstreamer has some problems with it, so… Phonon-VLC is the one that works for now. Sorry for the trouble.
